Timeline conditions

**OPC REGISTRATION — PACKAGE CONDITIONS** All plans cover the incorporation of one new Indian One Person Company with one individual shareholder, one nominated individual and authorised share capital up to ₹1,00,000. **BASIC PLAN** Includes SPICe+ name approval assistance, two Class 3 DSCs with compatible USB tokens, one founder/director DIN application where needed, nominee consent with Form INC-3 preparation, MOA/AOA drafting, incorporation filing, Certificate of Incorporation with CIN, PAN and TAN. The normal government fees for incorporation and agreed state stamp duty are included within the stated package scope. EPFO and applicable ESIC registration and the bank-account application are processed through AGILE-PRO-S. Two DSCs are supplied as a TaxQue package benefit, subject to successful individual identity verification. They are not both necessarily required by law for OPC incorporation; the nominee can ordinarily provide physically signed INC-3 consent. **INC-20A commencement filing is NOT included in Basic.** It remains a statutory obligation for companies with share capital and must be arranged separately by the customer or purchased as an additional TaxQue service. The separate filing service and applicable ROC fee will be quoted in advance. **STANDARD PLAN** Includes every Basic service plus one INC-20A commencement filing, one GST registration application and MSME eligibility and Udyam self-registration guidance. The normal government filing fee for one timely INC-20A is included. Filing can proceed only after the subscribed share capital has been deposited in the company's bank account and acceptable proof is available. Udyam registration is free through the authorised government portal and is completed by the applicant. TaxQue provides eligibility and process guidance. **PREMIUM PLAN** Includes every Standard service, plus preparation and filing of up to three monthly GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B return periods for one GSTIN, one trademark availability search and class selection, and professional filing of one trademark TM-A application in one class. The government trademark application fee must be paid separately by the customer. Objection replies, hearings, opposition proceedings, additional trademark classes and any later trademark renewal are not included. **INC-20A — MANDATORY DEADLINE** For a newly incorporated OPC with share capital, INC-20A is generally required within 180 days of incorporation under Section 10A of the Companies Act, 2013. The obligation applies irrespective of whether the customer selects Basic, Standard or Premium. Standard and Premium include the professional filing service and normal on-time ROC fee. Basic excludes both; the customer remains responsible for ensuring timely filing. **PACKAGE LIMITS AND ADDITIONAL CHARGES \*** The package covers one shareholder and one nominee with authorised share capital up to ₹1,00,000. Any extra director, additional DSC, higher authorised capital, unusual company structure or special licence requirement will be quoted separately. An OPC cannot have an additional shareholder while remaining an OPC. Normal incorporation ROC fees and the agreed state stamp duty are included for the standard package. Higher state duty, late fees, penalties, additional forms, government trademark filing fees and other charges not expressly included must be paid separately. **EPFO, ESIC AND BANK APPLICATION** EPFO registration, applicable ESIC registration and a bank-account application are included through the SPICe+/AGILE-PRO-S incorporation process. Receipt of EPFO and ESIC registration numbers does not mean payroll contributions or returns become immediately payable. Their applicability depends on law and establishment coverage. Bank-account activation depends on the bank's own verification. **TIMELINES** OPC incorporation is estimated at 7–12 working days after complete founder and nominee documents, office proof, DSC identity verification, name choices, signed documents and customer approvals are received. The INC-20A service, where included, is completed after incorporation when acceptable bank evidence is received and before its statutory deadline. GST registration, trademark services and the three monthly GST return periods follow separate timelines. Government processing, MCA resubmission requests, missing documents and additional verification may increase the time required. **CUSTOMER DOCUMENTS** Please provide founder and nominee PAN, accepted identity and address proofs, contact details, proposed company names, business activity details, office-address evidence, owner consent where applicable, capital and subscription details and any additional records necessary for registration. For INC-20A, provide company bank-account evidence showing receipt of the share-subscription amount. For GST and trademark services, further information may be required. **NOT INCLUDED** Basic does not include INC-20A filing. None of these packages includes annual ROC returns, statutory audit, company income-tax returns, bookkeeping, regular GST filing beyond the Premium three-month scope, ongoing PF/ESI returns, trademark objection replies or other event-based compliance services unless expressly listed. **APPROVAL AND RESPONSIBILITY** The customer must provide accurate information, valid documents and timely authorisations. Government departments, banks and other authorities make independent approval decisions. TaxQue cannot guarantee a specific date of approval or registration.

One Person Company (OPC) Registration

A One Person Company (OPC) is a specialized corporate entity introduced under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013, allowing a solo entrepreneur to enjoy 100% equity ownership and full operational control while gaining complete limited liability protection and separate legal corporate status.

TaxQue provides end-to-end OPC registration. Our Company Secretaries handle SPICe+ Part A name approval, Director DIN, Class 3 DSC, Nominee Director consent drafting (Form INC-3), customized MOA/AOA, PAN, TAN, corporate current bank account setup, and initial governance compliance.

What is OPC Registration?

OPC Registration allows individual solo founders to operate a full corporate entity without needing a co-founder or second partner, while safeguarding personal wealth from business liabilities.

OPC Registration

Single Member Ownership with Limited Liability: Only 1 Shareholder (Sole Member) is required. The liability of the member is strictly limited to the unpaid share capital.

Mandatory Nominee Director Requirement: The sole member must nominate an Indian citizen as a Nominee Director in the MOA who assumes control in the event of the sole member's demise or incapacity.

Seamless Future Conversion: Can be converted voluntarily into a multi-shareholder Private Limited company at any time by amending MOA/AOA and adding a second director.

Nominee Consent (Form INC-3) Mandate

A prior written consent in Form INC-3 along with PAN, Aadhaar, and address proof of the Nominee Director is compulsory for SPICe+ portal approval.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers about OPC Registration

An OPC is a specialized corporate structure introduced under Section 2(62) of the Companies Act, 2013, allowing a single solo entrepreneur to enjoy 100% ownership with complete corporate limited liability protection. Any natural person who is an Indian citizen (resident or non-resident) can incorporate an OPC.

Under Section 3(1)(c), the sole member of an OPC must nominate an individual (Nominee) who will take over the management and ownership of the company in the event of the sole subscriber's death or permanent incapacity. The nominee's written consent is submitted in Form INC-3. TaxQue drafts the nominee documentation for you.

An OPC is a distinct legal entity with separate legal identity, limited liability (protecting personal family assets from business debts), continuous perpetual succession, and the ability to sign commercial contracts and own property in its corporate name.

No. Under the amended MCA rules, the earlier restrictions (compulsory conversion upon crossing ₹2 Crore turnover or ₹50 Lakhs capital) have been completely abolished. An OPC can now operate with unlimited revenue and capital without mandatory conversion.

The process takes 5 to 7 working days, covering Class 3 DSC procurement for the sole member, Name Approval (SPICe+ Part A), nominee consent filing (INC-3), electronic MOA/AOA drafting, and Certificate of Incorporation issuance with PAN, TAN, and DIN.
